K7JKG is a typical dp/n (dell part#) for the gen2 type with soft-rubber tubes
did it just stop working or is it (possibly) clogged up? Your best bet is to buy another original, unless you have something against them. If you go w/an aftermarket cooler, you can't exactly plug back in up top @ the left power board, since the stock cooler has a special 5pin. 25millimeter rads, like the stock unit are best since they're a simple drop in, while 38millimeter rads are better coolers but they need a special trick to install them (the top active vent assembly comes off, & you'd move to a 32millimeter fan & special bolts 1 5/8" bolts). If you have an x58 socket 1366 mthrbrd you need a cooler that will have that retention ring, or be compatible w/the one you have now. I can give more info, I'll wait to hear back.
If you want an aftrmrkt cooler to plug into your top left powerboard & go back to the way it was w/Command Center running the show, you can get one of my special adapters here, since I have the special A-51 cooler 5pin connector you'd need:
Aurora R1-R4 A-51 Corsair h80i Corsware Mind-Meld Liquid Cooling Adapters --> 9 <-- Now Available h55 h60 h75 also
The Mark III Tesla Swiss Army Knife Edition can keep you in the cooling b'ness for years to come.
As was said, your 25mm radiator is designed to work w/a 38mm pwm (4pin) fan in the top housing. If you buy an aftrmrkt 25mil cooler you can try for one w/a 38mil pwm fan or simply re-use yours.
For an improved cooler with a fatter 38mil radiator (h80i etc) it is not enough to say: I'll just reverse it now & use a 25mil fan or re-use my 38mil. Nope. I tried that. You need a 32mil fan (CoolJag Everflow etc) & best to use 1 5/8" bolts, as I said. Whatever you get, I'll stay on board with you cradle-to-grave womb-to-tomb to help get it in there. Cool?
